It's snowing in St. George

 The snow started in the morning, stopped, and then continued overnight.  It was wet snow in the morning so it didn't stick, but by the evening it was fluffy snow that stuck and we had beautiful vistas.


This was the wet snow in the morning:


This was what it looked like in the evening:



This was the aftermath the next morning (these are pics posted on the Ivins Community Facebook page):

Weird Birds

Courtney was doing an online class in the office when she texted me to look outside.  I looked and this is what I saw...



There were a TON of birds on our law in the front and in the backyard.  And it wasn't just our house either.  All the neighbors had the same thing happening on their lawns too.  It was so weird.

I decided to have a little fun and open the back door really quickly to see what would happen.  The birds flew off really quickly and it was loud!  I did the same thing in the front yard too.

The birds stuck around for about an hour and then they were gone.  I don't know what was going on but I think it may have had something to do with the storm that was rolling in.

Silly Courtney

We were playing games on Sunday and Courtney was cold.  She wrapped up in her blanket to get warm and she started to act silly.  Haha!



Soccer Game

 Courtney had a soccer game against a 7 Elite team from the Salt Lake City area.  The other team came down one weekend so they could play each other.  There was a bit of confusion about the start time so the game started an hour later than our coach thought it would begin. They lost but they played well.

Courtney is #14.

She is on the right of this picture.

Sunrise

I will say it again and again, we live in a beautiful place.  This was our sunrise the other morning.



Birthday

Bryan had a planning commission meeting on my birthday so we decided to do birthday dinner and everything on Monday.  He made a wonderful dinner of wild rice, chicken cordon bleu, and wild rice.  He had made a German chocolate cake for dessert with vanilla ice cream.  It was really yummy.


Bryan also bought me roses for my birthday.  They were beautiful and smelled really nice.

Raking leaves

 We went to my parent's house to rake their leaves on Saturday.  We only did the front yard so we will need to go back next week and do the gutters and backyard.  But they had a lot of leaves.

Bryan used the blower and then Courtney and I gathered them into garbage bags.  We had to smash the leaves down so they wouldn't take up so much room.  Courtney liked getting into the garbage can to do that.
